Install on a flat and stable surface. 2. Adjust the feet underneath the scanner to ensure stability. 3. Allow 50cm (20 inches) of free space at the front for cassette insertion and 20cm (8 inches) in the back for cables and power switch access. Service Manual FireCR+ computed radiography Scanner 6 Installation | FireCR+ Wall Mount 1. Turn reader on its side. Note: Do not turn upside down! 2. Remove adjustable feet.

5 3. Attach brackets to the scanner. Note: Washers go between the brackets and the bolts. Service Manual FireCR+ computed radiography Scanner FireCR+ | Installation 7 4. Secure wall mount bracket to wall. Note: Make sure that the wall bracket is mounted level. 5. Carefully attach the scanner to the wall bracket. Note: Make sure all four bracket hooks are securely attached to the wall mount bracket. Service Manual FireCR+ computed radiography Scanner 8 Installation | FireCR+ Connections 1. Connect power supply and USB cable. Cassette and IP Visual Inspection 1. Remove the IPs from the cassettes by hooking and pulling the plate using the IP Extractor.

6 2. Visually inspect for defects (air bubbles, scratches, dust, etc.) 3. Inspect cassette housing for physical damage. Service Manual FireCR+ computed radiography Scanner FireCR+ | Calibration 9 Calibration Calibration Geometry Note: Exposure must always cover the entire cassette. Service Manual FireCR+ computed radiography Scanner 10 Calibration | FireCR+ Calibration Procedure This screen will appear: Step 1: Auto alignment Step 2: Erase Run an erase cycle to remove any residual radiation that may be left on the phosphor. Step 3: Scan Blank Without exposing the cassette, insert it into the reader and press the Scan Blank button.

7 Note: Use the same cassette for the entire calibration. Step 4, 5, & 6: Scan Low, Medium, & High Dose Expose the entire cassette at the recommended values and if the value is out of range adjust mAs until the numbers are green. Note: mAs and calibration values are directly proportional, so a 5% increase in mAs will equal a 5% increase in calibration value, etc. Step 7: Calibration! Press and wait until the software confirms that the calibration was successful. Note: Cancelling the calibration before completion will force you to start over. Service Manual FireCR+ computed radiography Scanner FireCR+ | Calibration 11 Understanding the Cal-files: Calibration files can be found in the software folder.

8 Windows Photo Viewer can view the Cal-files. We recommend that you open the High Dose calibration of each cassette size to verify an artifact free calibration. 14 x 17 Cassette Calibration 10 x 12 Cassette Calibration File Description File Description Scan Blank Scan Blank Scan Low Dose Scan Low Dose Scan Mid Dose Scan Mid Dose Scan High Dose Scan High Dose Cal0 - Cal3 compressed together Cal4 - Cal7 compressed together Good Calibration Bad Calibration (Defective IP) Service Manual FireCR+ computed radiography Scanner 12 Reader Diagnostics | FireCR+ Reader Diagnostics Scanner Control 1.
